    An early example of girl power!

    August 5, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We visited Molly Gallivan's Cottage and Farm. What a woman!

    Widowed with seven small children, Molly Gallivan had to call on all her resourcefulness to keep body and soul together. She supplemented her meagre income from her small mountain farm by opening a “Sibheen” (illegal pub). Here she sold her own home made “Poitín” (whiskey) locally known as “Molly’s Mountain Dew”.

    The shop here is gorgeous with so many artifacts to choose from. We also walked around the farm to learn a bit more about her and life in those times.

    The little people were taken with the animals and the views were stunning! 😍
